As talent and workforces go global, expertise can be found anywhere in your organization. Critical knowledge and insights, written and spoken words traverse the network at light speed. How can you find the right person for the problem you need to solve right away?

Cisco’s new PulseTM delivers a powerful platform that harvests expertise by unlocking the human capital hidden in your organization’s social network with embedded Lucene/Solr search technology. With cutting edge enterprise search techniques developed at Cisco with the help of Lucid Imagination, Pulse tracks tags and indexes key terms and topics from a broad range of media – from email to video - in real time, matching them to the people who know them best.
